We are a people's law firm. This is why we like to call ourselves the Legal Team for All South Australians.

Our firm provides total, "cradle to the grave" legal solutions across the areas of law that matter most to people from all walks of life:

• family law,
• personal injury,
• wills, powers of attorney,
• deceased estates,
• property law and conveyancing,
• business law, and
• criminal law.

We will listen to what you have to say. We will not talk down to you like other law firms.

We will explain what we do every step of the way without boring you with law talk.

We're accessible: you choose how you wish to communicate with us whether it be by phone, fax, email, letter or even SMS!

We are focussed on your needs.

We are passionate about what we do.

We are ultra-professional but also personable, approachable and caring.

You will notice the difference the moment you pick up the phone to call us, and when you come in for your first appointment.

For a start, we speak plain English. We will not baffle you with legal jargon. We will be straight to the point and explain things as clearly as possible, even if the legal issues involved are complex.

We also speak Italian, Greek and Japanese.

We are a proudly South Australian and Australian law firm embracing all cultures, religions, beliefs and social persuasions.

Have you been charged with a criminal or traffic offence?
